Between the road junction of Kurunagala and Anuradhapura lies the magnificent rock fortress citadel of Yapahuwa.

 

Less than 1 km from Yapahuwa is the aptly named Yapahuwa Paradise Resort. Actually, there are 2 hotels side by side; the Yapahuwa Resort for tour groups and the Ayurveda Kuren Mayo centre, which is particularly picturesque. In accordance with our "Visit, Stay at and Inspect" UK HO policy, we visited Yapahuwa Paradise Resort on Friday 25 December 2009 (Christmas Day) and then visited but did not stay at the adjacent Ayurveda Kuren - which is favoured by German tourists.  

Yapahuwa Paradise Resort aims to recreate in its imposing entrance and main block the nearby Yapahuwa ornamental gate. Accommodation is in dispersed 2 storey villa blocks of 4 rooms, the hotel has 20 rooms in all. Pleasant is the pool and the shaded pavillion it offers.

 

Adjacent to Yapahuwa Paradise Resort is the Ayurveda Kuren which is designed into much smaller buildings. Accommodation is in dispersed chalets and deluxe single storey villa blocks of 6 rooms which blend into the country side environment.
